About the Sea King (EA)

Hi gentlemen,

I'm trying (as a newbie...) a game with Tien-Chi EA. My pretender cast a Troll King's Court and and here went a Sea King wich is described by the following : "The Sea King is a powerful water mage who may grant humans water-breathing abilities if they accompany him".

I can't find the way to trigger this : no spell, so item forging, just putting human units under his command does not work... What did I miss ????

"The Sea King is a powerful water mage who may grant humans water-breathing abilities if they accompany him"

I think this ability does not work, ie...its bugged.

I think the text is left over from dom2. They changed the mechanics for dom3 but forgot to take out all the flavor text references (water mages used to be able to go underwater and to bring 1 unit with them per level of water magic).

Well, in one of my MP games, a few Sea Kings have brought some fire snakes and assorted humans into the sea since I was pushed off of dry land. So it works for me at least.

The Sea Kings can bring troops under water. I beleive they are water breathing 50( but I could be wrong. It might be 25) Which means they can bring 25 size 2 creatures , or 15 size 3.
It just doesn't show it as an icon.

All right, I've got it. Darrel is almost right : I had too many men in the Sea King Army. After some tries, I find that it can lead underwater up to 15 size 2 units (== Breathing 30, I guess).

Many thanks for all your answers !
